PLC Programming, Simplified
If you listen to detention facility administrators and maintenance personnel long and hard enough, you’ll find that one of the ongoing security and cost concerns that they have relates to a single device that has a unique role in the security of their facilities: the Programmable Logic Controller (PLC).
Multi-site Enterprise Alarm Reporting For Detention Security
As state law enforcement agencies, like the Department of Corrections, have become more technology dependent, a need for Enterprise-level security solutions has become of significant interest. Because state agencies manage multiple detention facilities spread across the state, gaining information or even being alerted to developing situations can be difficult to manage.
How Detention Control Systems Can Help with PREA
While there are many practical, business-practice aspects of compliance with the law, there are many ways that technologies can help.
Advanced Integration for Access Control Systems
Access control systems provide a great benefit to both small and large facilities, and to a wide range of security needs, from retail to corrections. In smaller, commercial applications (like retail or corporate), the interest in security is usually as simple as controlling access to a few rooms based on a user’s permissions.
Using Intercom Traffic From Detention Control Systems as Evidence
The intercom system is a staple part of all modern detention control systems. These devices are used by inmates and staff to request access to secure areas of a detention facility. They are used to monitor cell and dorm activity.
Monitoring Third-Party Devices From Detention Control Systems
While detention control systems are primarily concerned with the control of locks, intercoms, and cameras, there are secondary systems that provide monitored inputs that can be useful in the overall integration of the system.
BACnet and Detention Control Systems
MTI is the most open and non-proprietary system among all detention control systems, and we’ve just added one more confirmation of that. The latest version of the MTI ProVision detention control system suite provides the means for a designer add control of devices that are BACnet/IP compliant.
